Peony photograph by Geri Glavis.
With a recorded history that dates back thousands of years, it�s not surprising that even the mythology surrounding the origin of the peony has multiple versions. One legend has it that the peony is named after Paeon, a physician to the gods, who received the flower on Mount Olympus from the mother of Apollo. And another tells the story of that same physician who was �saved� from the fate of dying as other mortals by being turned into the flower we know today as the peony.
The traditional floral symbol of China, the state flower of Indiana, and the 12th wedding anniversary flower, peonies are known as the flower of riches and honor. With their lush, full, rounded bloom, peonies embody romance and prosperity and are regarded as an omen of good fortune and a happy marriage.

My interest in art began at a very young age and has continued throughout my life in various mediums. First love has always been painting, and led to my pursuit of a degree in art which has contributed to several career opportunities in design. I enjoy the challenge of photography to capture the beauty of the world around me as I see it. Welcome to my fine art website, all comments are appreciated, and please return to view updates.
